And that proposal is still, IMO, how this should be done.  Why not a
change to the branch dates if you need it to be earlier, as was
suggested?  Having different branch dates too close together is going
to be a problem for stability.

That was expected.  As long as everything going into master goes via
delivery, that's not a problem.  If you're cherry picking commits to
vsnetbeans(?), you could cherry pick from whichever branch you want.

It would be good to use separate version numbers, and a separate
branching repo with your own issue queue, milestones, etc.  This is
already a point of confusion.

Personally I'd also like to see a hard limit on the number of
VSNetBeans releases between IDE releases in case of release delays in
future.

Best wishes,

Neil
